Video: Hands on with the BBC Micro-Bit user interface | Electronics Weekly (original) (raw)

Dara Ó Briain was host for the launch event at the BBC, and coincidentally joins me for the the Microsoft Touch Development Environment.

ARM, Nordic Semiconductor, Samsung, Microsoft, Freescale, Farnell element14 and Lancaster University were among those who supported the project.

There are actually two code editors with the Micro-Bit: Microsoft Block Editor, for younger users, and the Microsoft Touch Development Environment, for more advanced users. In the video, we see the latter.
